How can a tutor help your child master the SSAT?

Varsity Tutors can assist students in connecting with a tutor in McKinney who could potentially help them understand the concepts of the SSAT. The SSAT is an important test in your child's educational career. If your child wants to get into the most competitive schools, achieving a high score on the SSAT will be a big help. The significance of the test means it also carries plenty of pressure, and there's no better way to prepare for that pressure than under the tutelage of an experienced SSAT tutor. Your child's tutor will set up a study schedule that ensures they are completely prepared for the exam, but don't study too much and end up burnt out before test day. When those jitters hit on the big day, the time your child put in with a tutor will be invaluable, as they will know how to manage their nerves and still perform up to their potential.

Our educational directors can assist you in finding a skilled SSAT tutor near McKinney, TX. We make it easy for you to schedule tutoring sessions, and you can set them up anytime, anywhere. If you want a tutor to meet with your child after school at Webb Elementary, they can do that. If you'd prefer they meet with your child at your home or even out at Erwin Park, those are options, too. Varsity Tutors also has a live learning platform where you can set up face-to-face online tutoring sessions.

Personalized SSAT instruction in McKinney will allow your child to develop a rapport with their tutor to facilitate the learning process. The tutor will start by assessing your child's current knowledge in relation to the sections on the SSAT, which are the quantitative section, the verbal reasoning section, the reading comprehension section, and the unscored essay, checking in particular for any areas your child finds difficult. Even though that essay is unscored, it still gets sent to schools, so it's important that your child demonstrates strong writing skills. After assessing your child, the tutor can develop a personalized study plan that aims to try to improve their overall knowledge and fixes any weak points. Following this plan will keep your child on the right track for SSAT success.

Our educational directors enjoy helping students in McKinney, TX, find independent SSAT tutors. Unlike the classroom format, tutoring is all about your child and their success. This allows the tutor to create an environment that's tailored to your child, for the most efficient and effective results.

Recent Tutoring Session Reviews

★★★★★

"For our first session, the student and I discussed his previous test. He explained that he did very well on the reading section, and that he thought the math section was the hardest. We first went over some math concepts that he would see on the test- such as percents, fractions, and converting between decimals and fractions. We did several synonym practice problems. We also looked at the analogy section and the main relationships tested. We did some practice problems, first stating which type of relationship the problem tested, and then looking at the answer choices. We discussed the elimination strategy, as well as the importance of not answering every question. For next session, the student should review the analogy relationships and do some practice problems. "

★★★★★

"I had the student take a practice test with the first two sections, verbal (synonyms and analogies) and then the mathematics section. Then we went over the answers. We will continue to focus on those sections so he gains confidence on the verbal section of the test. "

"Reviewed problems from Math practice test in addition to word roots and vocabulary. We need to review math a bit more, so we shall focus on the problems which he missed again in addition to working on the next Math practice test. We will also review word roots and then go on to prefixes and more vocabulary. "

★★★★★

"The session went well. We did math, verbal, and discussed the essay. I talked to her about outlining the essay before writing and making sure she has a solid structure. Her vocabulary has really improved. I am looking forward to seeing her after the break."

★★★★

"The other day the student contacted me and requested that we could go over an entire math section together because she was struggling with time issues. So, today, we went over some of the questions she had from homework. Then, we went through an entire SSAT math section. Afterwards, we went over word problems. In the end, I assigned additional homework from the text book and I bumped up her vocab to 25 words a day."

★★★★★

"The student and I reviewed the concepts from chapters 15 and 17. He understood almost everything without explanation but should review the final lesson of chapter 17 concerning climate change. We also did a quick overview of his math lessons and proved the angle sum theorem and the exterior angle theorem."
